Sounds like making fights easier vs limiting addon functionality
As someone who has arthritis in both hands pretty bad I rely on addons like GSE to play the game. Would probably quit if they limited that addon
Best thing that Blizzard can do….. they could reignite that original spark…making players active heroes in Azeroth, not just operators of addon-driven machines.
Completely agree, get rid of most addons, hire some of the UI ones and implement them as an option. WA should be removed from all content and update visuals of offensive, defensive and cc abilities.
For PVP, some implementation of these addons to the customizable interface would be perfect:
OmniCD
BigDebuffs
Gladius
omnibar/nameplatecooldowns/something to track enemy cds
that's literally it. everything else is extraneous.
Fix the healer MMR.
Ban addons already. Details – better gladius – better naneplate with important tracking and the Ui more like starcraft – squared and clean. No setup – no refresh – ez plug and play – thats it thats all
I feel like they should have strong audio cues like overwatch,marvel rivals, etc where when someone pops there special they say something
I can’t play with base UI. Good bye WoW. Hello RuneScape!
They need to ban addons like dbm etc at this point . Also improve base ui to monitor tracking any skill we want for our own specs
For someone like me with a eye disability, removing addons (sound) and wa's(sound) telling me whats happening would be the end of WoW, not that anyone will care but still.
they should get rid of Macros and add-ons they have done nothing but make the game suck
More baseline in game add ons and cut third party. For sureee. Please Please
They only mention it in the context of raid. Which only really matters at all to super tryhards in mythic raiding. Meanwhile PvP 💀
why not give like a hardcore type of option like mythic where you go in and addons are shut off same for pvp. i prefer no add ons at all
Please man remove addons, its literally what pushed me to quit it sucks
All of sudden some people,aren’t gonna be so good.
When no1 has addons it levels the playing feild. At least they could give it a try for a season and see how it goes without any addons.
All I want to keep is a handful of add ons that don’t affect combat at all.
I really love my NON COMBAT addons. If they could split this difference, it would be the best outcome. And Plater bc that’s the best thing ever. Maybe they’ll implement the Plater stuff. If can’t have my addons that modernize the interface for me, I’ll probably NEVER play this old game. WeakAuras, Omni, etc can go tho. bye bye.
Remove the ability to have Addons enabled for rated content. Make them only usable outside rated content (mythic, heroic, rated PVP).
Addons become training wheels. They would naturally become designed in a way to make players less reliant on them while still keeping functionality that makes them so useful for every other facet of the game
If you'd just stop being so fucking lazy, Blizzard, and just put these addons into the game as a feature, you wouldn't have to constantly rely on the addon community to do what you wouldn't pay for someone else to do. Then you steal it as your own and ruin their work? It's like you're getting us to beta test and debug your game for free while you benefit. Who are you, Bethesda?
Addons can only show you what is happening in the game. They cannot move your character, they cannot press a spell.
Seeing what is happening in the game is a PREREQUISITE to playing the game.
Same retardation as when they removed the fov slider. Seeing the game is a prerequisite to playing. If you think addons are cheating then you should turn off your monitor because seeing the game is also cheating.
Have no idea why they didn't break addons a decade before – all add-ons do is create more work for them and triple the difficulty of designing challenging raid encounters all the while leaving behind any who don't adopt them. It also has enabled some of their worse instincts to overcomplicate classes. Remember back in BC when Warlocks had a 1 button rotation? Remember when Warriors could be played on a SNES controller? The game was still fun. We don't nessecarily need to go back to that level of simplicity, but TWW is just absurdly overdesigned at every level, in no small part thanks to addons that have enabled it.
Removing DBM style addons alone could make raiding and dungeons 100x harder and actually more engaging
Since they have raid bars and pvp bars for arena in default… its fine for me to roll with 0.
Isn't AWC 0 addons anyways ???
Being in a raid now honestly is way to much shit going on 😂😂
Dude ir they remove addons absolutely insane
You want to know why the botts are so good ?
99% of add-ons are just data collection for the botting programs.
